Best South Of The Border Corn Recipes

DEE DEE'S SOUTH OF THE BORDER CORN PUDDING

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a 9 x 9-inch baking dish.
• 2. Combine sugar, flour, and baking powder; set aside.
• 3. I used 6 ears of silver queen corn. Cut corn from cob. You should have about 3 cups of fresh corn kernels. If you don't have fresh you can use frozen.
• 4. Combine corn with green onions, bell pepper, cumin, pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. NOTE: the pepper flakes are optional. If you like a little heat add, if not, don't use. This pudding will be good with or without the pepper flakes.
• 5. Whisk together eggs, whipping cream and butter; gradually add sugar/flour mixture and whisk until smooth; stir in corn mixture.
• 6. Pour into prepared baking dish. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and stir with long prong fork, disturbing the top as little as possible, return to oven and continue cooking another 25 to 30 minutes until set and browned. Once set and browned, remove from oven; let set 5 minutes before serving. NOTE: the outer edge seems to cook faster than center, gently stirring halfway through cooking allows this pudding to cook more evenly.

Steps:

• Combine evaporated milk, grits, chicken broth, and butter in a saucepan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add Cheddar cheese and stir until incorporated. Remove from the heat and set aside.

• Add bell peppers to the bacon grease. Add shrimp and taco seasoning. Cook and stir until peppers are heated through and shrimp are bright pink on the outside and the meat is opaque, 3 to 5 minutes. Stir in chopped bacon.
• Place a dollop of grits in each bowl and top with shrimp mixture and hot sauce.
